Secretary-General Ki-Moon, continued his remarks on the First World War&#039;s 100th Anniversary Commemoration as follow:<br />
&quot;The League of Nations rose from the ashes. Tragically, it could not prevent the other epic global conflict of the 20th century, the Second World War.<br />
With the birth of the United Nations in 1945, a direct historical line was established between those fateful shots in Sarajevo and our enduring global organization.&quot;

A hundred years after the World War One, the Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon reminded us the following:<br />
&quot;The First World War was described at the time as the war to end all wars. It did nothing of the sort.<br />
But global revulsion at the bloodshed did mark the beginning of new efforts to better manage the world’s rivalries and affairs.&quot;

Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations stated the following in his remarks:<br />
<br />
&quot;The battlefields of the First World War represent a roll-call of carnage etched into our collective memory.<br />
<br />
The Somme and Verdun. <br />
<br />
Gallipoli and Ypres. <br />
<br />
Even a century later, the very names evoke the pain and futility of what happened there.&quot;
